    Calypso Rose

    Calypso Rose Forget the thorns, because she has them, and without delay pick this (Calypso) Rose who, at 75 years old, looks fresher than ever. Far From Home has to be the 20th album at least of her crowded discography and the latest chapter of an eventful career started in 1964. But you’ll never hear her sound in the least bit tired; quite the opposite. Petulant, energetic, vehement, jovial, gregarious… there aren’t enough words to describe her performance on these 12 tracks on which she generously dispenses her joie de vivre with the voice of a young girl. Yet, life hasn’t been a bed of roses for McCartha Linda Lewis, born in 1940 in Bethel, a small village on the island of Tobago which, with Trinidad, is one of the many insular republics of the Caribbean, and the land of one of the most popular music in the world: calypso. Born at the end of the 19th Century from a mix of African and European musical ingredients, calypso really grew in the first half of the 20th Century into a refined art and a medium in its own right to address everyday problems as well as important social issues. It became universal in the 1950’s, notably through Harry Belafonte, and was exclusively delivered by males until a troublemaker entered the scene and blew-up the conventions. In 1972, Calypso Rose was the first artist to be awarded the title of Calypso Queen and, six years later, the gender-neutral title of Calypso Monarch. One of the songs from the new album titled ‘Calypso Queen’ evokes the pride she still feels today at having been the one to overthrow the established order of things.

Last AlvinofDiaspar 2006-Nov-16, 14:09 HtO Park (Central Waterfront) From the Star: A vision beyond the urban beach Nov. 16, 2006. 01:00 AM CHRISTOPHER HUME Janet Rosenberg may be in a hurry, but unfortunately Toronto isn't. One of the city's leading landscape architects, Rosenberg desperately wants Toronto to get off its collective butt and get going. She's getting tired of waiting. Take HtO, for example, the "urban beach" at the foot of John St. at Queens Quay W. her firm designed three years ago. The project is underway and slated to open next spring, finally, only two years behind schedule. Much of that time has been spent jumping through bureaucratic hoops. Dealing with the various agencies alone was enough to slow construction to a crawl. Now, however, the results can be seen; the large concrete terraces that reach down to the very waters of Lake Ontario have been poured and the hole that will contain a huge sandpit has been dug and lined. Even a few of the bright yellow umbrellas have been installed. Eventually there will be 39, the bulk still to come. Willow trees have also been planted on mounds and benches installed. Of course, changes were made along the way. After West 8 of Rotterdam won the central waterfront redesign competition last summer, the beach was moved closer to Queens Quay in anticipation of reducing the street from four lanes to two.

INTRODUCTION Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation Department are sponsoring this six-week design competition to produce bold and innovative park designs for York Street Park and Rees Street Park in the Central Waterfront. Each of these sites will become important elements of the Toronto waterfront’s growing collection of beautiful, sustainable and popular public open spaces along Queens Quay. Five teams representing a range of different landscape design philosophies have been selected to focus on the Rees Street Park site based on the program set out in this Competition Brief. The program consists of nine Required Design Elements identified through community consultation, as well as a number of physical site opportunities and constraints that must be addressed in the design proposals. The design competition will kick off on May 15, 2018 with an all-day orientation session – at which the teams will hear presentations from Waterfront Toronto, government officials, and key stakeholders – and a tour of the site. At the end of June, completed proposals will be put on public exhibition during which time input will be solicited from stakeholders, city staff, and the general public. A jury comprised of distinguished design and arts professionals will receive reports from these groups, and then select a winning proposal to be recommended to Waterfront Toronto and City of Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation.

The next generation of environmental leaders – our “Generation Now”– are faced with some rather dismaying environmental and human health challenges. Whether it be greenhouse gas emissions, contamination of air and water, or modernization of our energy systems in Canada; the legacy that they inherit from our generation (and generations past) – is not an easy one to take on. But tonight underscores why there is still great reason for optimism. After a day of discussion and brainstorming, we’re going to hear the results of the innovation forum held in collaboration with “Student Energy”, a group of bright, dedicated students creating the next generation of energy leaders committed to transitioning the world to a sustainable future. Don’t be surprised if they manage to crack a few tough problems before we even get to dinner! You’ll also meet our Generation Now award winners, who represent the smart, enthusiastic and innovative young people ready to dive in and start saving the world - literally. You’ll learn about the amazing solutions that they’ve already developed. Pollution Probe was formed in 1969, a year before I was born. As I take the helm from the generations of leaders who have preceded me, I am grateful and reassured by the enormous potential in those who will come after.
  • Cumbancha Announces New Album from Kobo Town

    Cumbancha Announces New Album from Kobo Town

    CUMBANCHA ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM FROM KOBO TOWN JUMBIE IN THE JUKEBOX Cat nr : CMB-CD-25 release dates: 6 May 2013 (Europe) 23 April 2013 (USA) “Kobo Town brings Neil Young's angst and Jerry Dammers' instincts to traditional calypso themes.” -- The Village Voice Merging calypso, roots reggae, acoustic performance, dub studio techniques and Trinidadian / Jamaican cultures, Kobo Town is a unique, stylistic, trans-national composite of rhythm, poetry and activist journalism. Kobo Town resurrects, reinvigorates and redefines calypso for the new millennium. Founded by emigré Trinidadian songwriter Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town takes the intricate wordplay of classic Caribbean music and runs it through a 21st Century filter. In the world of Kobo Town calypso, roots reggae, and acoustic instrumentation meet innovative production techniques, social commentary and indie rock attitude. Stonetree and Cumbancha will release Kobo Town’s second album Jumbie in the Jukebox in Spring. Gonsalves was raised in a middle class suburban town outside Port-of-Spain but his family relocated to Canada when he was 13 years old. Even though he was exposed to a lot of music growing up on the island, the local folklore tradition of calypso music wasn’t his main interest back then. Like most of his peers, he was mostly influenced by American and British rock music...and even admits to a passion for heavy metal in his early teens. It wasn’t until he relocated to Canada that the prism of nostalgia and a deepening interest in his country’s history led him to explore the rich traditions of calypso music, mostly by digging through bins of old records in second-hand stores.
